Technical University Berlin

This course is the second of two fluid mechanics courses that are taught concurrently in a single semester. Students take Fluid Mechanics I and then either Fluid Mechanics II (Higher Flow Level) or Fluid Mechanics II (Technique and Examples). This advanced course on fluid mechanics covers the following topics: Potential flow Vortex flows (Biot-Savartsches-law, wing theory), Boundary layer flows (Prandtl boundary layer equations, theory Blasius) Turbulent, incompressible flows (Reynolds equations, universal velocity profile, laminar-turbulent envelope), and Flows of compressible media.

This course for foreign students is designed to improve students’ language skills and vocabulary. Areas of focus include grammar, conversation, writing exercises, and listening and reading exercises. In addition, excursions are planned to introduce students to German culture. Students work with cultural and historical topics on an academic level and broaden their intercultural knowledge. They are introduced to independent learning methods and familiarize themselves with typical learning situations at German universities. In this class at the A2 level according to the CEFR, students review and expand their basic vocabulary and command of basic grammatical structures as well as corresponding competencies in university-specific situations. The class takes intercultural and methodological aspects of foreign language learning into consideration, and students are further introduced to German culture and society.

This course is for beginners only and covers the A1 CEFR level of German language. Students learn and use expressions and simple sentences for everyday life. Students acquire vocabulary and language structures in order to talk about themselves, places, and time, and in order to ask others about these topics.
